Thanks alot for the info.

My ROM versions are:

Qtek S110

Rom: 1.12.00 WWE (05/28/05)

Radio: 1.12.00

Protocol: 1337.42

ExtRom: 1.12.119 WWE

It looks like my ROM version is different to the information in the manual I have as, in the manual, it states that the phone can be turned off by holding the power button. On my machine, this turns off the backlight only, even if I hold it down for more than 5 seconds.

I wonder why the newer ROM versions don't allow bluetooth to be on without the phone. My reason for wanting this is I intend to use the device with a bluetooth GPS whilst hiking and, if I'm not near a mobile transmitter, this will run down my device much quicker.

I'll give the trial version of that software a try.

Thank you.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] esee:
the developer maybe was in unclear state for this new version,haha
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Thanks for the info. I gave PhoneAlarm a try, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I set a profile that had the radio off but the bluetooth on but when I switch to the profile but I cannot get it to work. It seems that on my ROM version the radio has to be on for bluetooth to be on - which to be honest is just sheer dumb.

Can you please tell me which versions of the ROM components I need and where I can get them please? I have a Qtek S110 UK - doesn't seem to have any phone network configuration on it.

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Here's a reply I just got from Qtek:

Hi Steve,

you are cotrrect - the Bluetooth works independently from the phone. please go back to your point of sale and raise this issue with them, the return is their responsibility. Kind regards, Robin

Subject: Enquiry from QtekUK

Hi,

I recently purchased a Qtek S110. I am finding that the device will not allow me to have bluetooth on when the radio (phone part) is not on. This is no good for me as I intend to use the device with a bluetooth GPS whilst out hiking. If the radio stays on then my battery will drain really fast as I will be nowhere near a phone transmitter and it will be using large amounts of power to communicate with one.

Other people tell me that their Qtek S110 allows them to have bluetooth on when the radio isn't on. To be honest this is how the phone should work, bluetooth should have nothing to do with the radio part, and I am very surprised that mine doesn't that way.

My firmware is:

ROM: 1.12.00 WWE, Radio 1.12.00, Protocol 1337.42, ExtrROM 1.12.119 WWE

If this can be fixed with a new firmware then please tell me how I do this and where I find them as I can find no mention of firmwares on any Qtek site. Otherwise is there any other way of having bluetooth only on?

Thank you,

Regards,

Steve

-----

So, they want me to send it back to my supplier but to be honest, I don't actually think its faulty - just a faulty ROM. I can now see a struggle between me and the supplier. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Steve
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
Ok, thanks to jackleung and kta I have now managed to get Phone Alarm to have bluetooth on and GSM off. I guess, either I was using an older version, or I wasn't quite doing it right.

But I can now confirm it to work. Seems like Qtek don't know what they're talking about or at least some firmwares may do it when others don't.

But the good news is that I don't have the hassle of returning the machine or risking flashing the firmware. £10 for the new software is far easier.

Thanks again.

There is a registry hack in this thread that sorted the problem for me and my Alpine, although the hack was currently posted in the Magician forum.

unzip 2 files changeHosts1.bat and changeHosts2.bat and launch them. Or go to c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ folder, find host file open with notepad and add 2 strings

210.245.210.204 bbs.anzhi.com
210.245.210.222 bbs.anzhi.com

Then reboot your PC and try to open bbs.anzhi.com

If you need unlock access to this site on your phone, just add this strings in host file from /system/etc folder

Sorry, for my bad English........

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] vanaj:
most simple solution

because I do not have administrator privileges on my corporate laptop, you can not change the host file. However, there is another way to get to the website anzi.com - simply use the IP address of server hosting websites instead of its domain name.

try to use it in this form: http : // 210 . 245 . 210 . 222 or http : // 210 . 245 . 210 . 204

So a few days ago I emailed Kingo support asking about the MTKcamera spyware and about their program being spyware in general. This was their response...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chrisnosleep:
Proper grammar, sentence and paragraph structure, and intelligent, this is obviously not a punk trying to rob us of anything. After reading their explanation, I'd be much more comfortable using their product.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Luminair:
Good read. I was most leery about it reading IMEI, and will use their software in their next release that removes it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Brandonrz:
One thing that has been pondering my mind. That Kingo unlock tool they have been taking abbot. It seems promising but what are the chances?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mikeone33:
E.S.L.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] PaulusGrandis:
The more I read from Kingo and the more I look into this issue, the more I think that they are not doing anything shady.

Their app. is advertised for rooting, unlocking, etc., TONS of different devices. Some devices I know need to have certain codes created from that specific device's information (like the IMEI and SN or whatever) in order to achieve some of these unlocks, etc...

I have a hunch they just collect that info. from all the connected devices in case they need it on their servers to generate one of these specific codes/scripts they need.

*shrug*
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
I followed up to his email with this... after my last response about the specs, he never answered lol So I'm guessing no
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zombieplanalpha:
I think an important thing to consider is that word spreads through the development community pretty quickly and if they were caught red handed helping themselves to private data they risk a major backlash, most android enthusiasts take their phones more seriously than politics or religion. The letter seems legit and they are removing the questionable information gathered. To offend this community is a legitimate way to lose 60+ percent of the people who would use your services, free, ad supported or otherwise. There is only one company/entity who had constantly screwed with development and the xda crew and that's Verizon Wireless. Kingo is not Verizon Wireless.

I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and Note 2. Where is my jellybeans ROM for my Note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Deekayy:
Okay.. wish me luck.. i'm using kingo since other preferred root methods are not recommended.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] R-1 Rider:
Many people have used Kingo with no issues as of yet. The whole root process is a risk, but the benefits are well worth it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mdonnelly1127:
How did this work for you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] McDaddyTree:
They've updated the rooting software

Can anyone confirm that this method is now a more XDA approved method? As in it no longer pulls personal data from the device other than things that are necessary such as phone model and such.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SirKronan:
The official recommendation is to wait for version 2.0, as it will have this server information sending "feature" removed. That is based on Kingo's response. To say that Kingo devs had bad intentions for us is not accurate, but the sending of certain information to foreign servers when it really shouldn't be necessary is always understandably a red flag.

Will it hurt you to use Kingo root on your Note 3 now? Probably not. Is it safer for you to just wait for version 2.0? Probably.

Hope that helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] McDaddyTree:
They've updated to v1.1.2 it seems ( Mod Edit: links to vRoot or Kingo are currently not allowed on XDA.

) which is why I asked. Looks like they supposedly fixed the questioned issue...but I am in no way able to confirm that.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] frieked:
Yes, this method totally works:

Step 1: Ask Kingo if Kingo is up to no good.

Step 2: Receive response from Kingo that says no, we are totally not up to no good

Step 3: Wait, was that a triple or quadruple negative?

Step 4: ...

Step 5: Profit
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] yakitori2:
I think all this hoopla over kingo is funny. People...your personal info and data is accessible on a STOCK smart phone. If you want to remain anonymous...dont use a smart phone period. Ship it to me and buy a trakfone.

I figured the information being sent was pertaining to pushing the correct files, when you mass root many devices it only makes sense. Still it makes sense to be caution especially when you don't know exactly what info is being sent.

Any one having any luck getting a root for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 after updating to MJ7? I had root with de la Vega with MI9 until the update then lost my root and now can't find an alternative to re-root.

Any help would be nice.

Thanks,

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mjh68:
GoNavy,

I used it after the update. Only trouble I had initially the app didn't see the phone, while plugged in I rebooted the phone and then restarted the kingo app. Otherwise, once connected I had to run through it twice. Initially, it downloaded the exploits which you have to accept then it failed to root. I just re did it and this time it worked. Just realize the phone will reboot after accepting each exploit so don't panic when it does...even though I held my breath when it happened the first time :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] goldy253:
Yes it is.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chefb:
That custom logo is like a unwanted Tattoo can we remove it...The funny thing is... that it would be the thing we can't remove after root..lol!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Harleydroid:
Yes you can remove it with exposed module and wanam.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njfoses:
Or the app "triangle away" as some people have not had luck with wanam on the newest software to remove it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dcoy82:
Wanam worked fine for mine. As far as this whole Kingo discussion, about the only safe option other than Kingo are ever goign to have is to purchase Adam Outler a locked note 3 and I'm sure he'll get it unlocked and casual running on it within 2 weeks. I know he said he's not going to support verizon/samsung devices anymore but you never know!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sportster1:
Did this and it worked fine. Only problem I ran into was installing the USB drivers. For some reason that went ridiculously wrong a few times and I had to disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, reconnect too many times to finally get it installed. But once it figured that out, it went well. I wanted to use Voodoo root keeper but it doesn't work with this phone, for some reason. Anything to use that will work with a Note 3?? I'm using SuperSU pro to assist with that but is there a specific app for keeping root through a OTA???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zombieplanalpha:
Custom ROMs have the OTA disabled. You generally get performance benefits from going custom. There are several to choose from.

I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and both my Notes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigillz:
Why does anyone care about serial # and IMEI? I swap that info all the time buying and selling phones. Any sane buyer requires that info because you can check them with your carrier to make sure the phone isn't reported stolen. I see them on Ebay, on Craigslist, on selling sites. I'll give out mine to anyone. If that information gave some secret root access backdoor to your phone, there would be lots of problems. It doesn't. And if somehow your phone was taken over or 'attacked', you'd just call Verizon and they'd overnight you a new one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billymaloney3:
i was thinking the same thing but everyone seemed to think they were something more secure or it was really bad if they got into someone elses hands so i thought i was wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zombieplanalpha:
I think the moderators would rather be safe than sorry about a potential problem. If something devious came of it and it turned out the moderators knew about it everyone would be up in arms about it. Well at least us Americans would be we have no foresight only hindsight. 'Merica

I think at the end of the day it was the over seas servers, and new business face kingo supplied. Starter companies tend to look a little malicious sometimes. Im sure in a matterof Weeks this will all be an after thought.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Real_JESRadio:
Weird thing is my root failed and I got the symbol the next day on startup. Then off/on again and the symbol is gone. Very odd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xanza89:
I've used Kingo twice to root both mine and my girlfriends Note 3 and we never had any issues with it. I quickly removed the SU that was installed with Kingo and flashed a version that I felt was secure using SS. Everything has been working fine. I was kind of nervous about this method when I first started reading about it but like others have said, I don't feel like it is just someone out to steal our information. They seem a little more put together than that but who knows, I could be wrong. It was nice to read over all the info they emailed you though, thanks for that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Joe92T:
If you use KingoRoot does it factory restore / wipe your phone during the rooting process or does everything stay intact it just reboots with root now? And Kingo works with with the new MJ7 OTA?

Also Oddball question - When you use SafeStrap or whatever its called and you install a Custom Rom on a Rom Slot, that does NOT touch your factory rom whatsoever correct? So you can go back and fourth between the two whenever you want and they are completely independent? So i can try a Custom Rom and then boot back into Stock Rooted whenever?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] G8orDroid:
No (doesn't wipe), Yes and Yes.

Kingo Root

I had problems trying Kingo on my VZW N3 but it never would root. It always said "Fail" and after several frustrating attempts I gave up and decided to try my Desktop instead of my Laptop. It took me about 3 attempts to download everything needed but at last I got it all loaded and attempted to root with Kingo and SUCCESS. I am now running Beans106 B2 on it and it is SWEET. Now I am one to take chances. I softbricked my N3 twice with the first time resulting in me taking a trip to Best Buy to reprogram my phone but the second time I had the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant loaded on my computer and I did the repair myself. Make sure you have what you need to unbrick your phone if needed. That trip to Best Buy was almost an hours drive one-way. It was the closest place for repairs to a Samsung product.

Kingo Root is EASY SWEET..... You just have to have all the pegs in place properly before you do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zombieplanalpha:
Jesus want a pain. How did you brick it twice? Kingo worked fine for me on 3 devices. Make sure you have latest KIES installed it helps with driver problems. Sounds like you had a rough time. Although I once flashed the wrong file in Odin on my S3. That was a wasted weekend.

I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and both my Notes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] anewday:
Same happened here..got stuck at waiting to connect to the device. I got it to work by closeing the app, unplug usb and restart phone then plug usb in. It'll resume the operation. Make sure there is a usb icon on the notification tray.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vick1377:
Guys I bought note 3 24 hours ago running mj7 and couldn't find any method to root that build. I read around and did it with kingo one click. It worked fine after enabling usb debugging so it recognized phone better. Am I safe? Lol. I just now read the pdf statement in the op. Seems good to me. Can go ahead with safe trap recovery install
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Harleydroid:
Be sure to flash chainfires supersu to get rid of the kingo superuser after you get safestrap installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vick1377:
Do I need safe trap first and flash superuser from chain fire in recovery? How different is it than installing super user pro from play store?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vick1377:
I'm little bit lost here or am I missing something? I rooted my phone using kingo method and worked flawlessly. I see thread to update super user app from chainfire but I see that's what was installed using kingo method. I saw super user 1.8 from chainfire installed on my phone. I just rooted yesterday. See the screenshot. Do I need to upgrade to pro version to be safe?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TheLoonyRebel:
I rooted my Note 3 via Kingo one week ago. It was mostly flawless but did "fail" on me towards the end. What happened is oddly enough adb shell got "denied" root access in SuperUser so I changed it to "allow." I then tested Titanium Backup to make sure SuperUser is working and needless to say it prompted me the permission question. Root Checker also showed I have root as well. So for those having fail issues check to see if SuperUser installed. More then likely Kingo is giving the "fail" on the adb shell test part if that is the case.

More then likely you updated SuperUser to 1.8 via Play Store so you are safe. Do run SuperUser however. It might prompt you to update the binaries which you should do. After you agree to do that then select let it flash in CWM/TWRP which then will have you phone reboot and update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vick1377:
Thanks for the reply. Makes me comfortable now even though I was satisfied enough with kingo's long pdf statement in op. I think kingo made a change to software to install chainfire version of super user app upon completiton of rooting process. When I run super user app I'm not prompted to update binaries or anything though. I have an option to upgrade to pro version which I might do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dooku77:
I just re rooted with kingo. I updated binaries. I also updated the app in the appstore. How do I know I got rid of the version that kingo installed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mjh68:
Pretty sure by updating the binaries you should be fine. I think Kingo started using the same version from the play store.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dooku77:
I have to admit, I am extremely impressed with the ease and speed of rooting with kingo. When I used RDLV last month it was kind of a pain. Thanks
